Work is set to start on two new city cycle schemes and further extend the cycling network in Cambridge. The schemes form part of a wider cross-city cycling project, funded by the Greater Cambridge City Deal, to bridge gaps in the city’s cycle network. The project consists of five separate schemes in the north, east and south of the city, bridging gaps in the existing network as well as to shops, schools and employment sites. The five cross city cycling projects are: Links to Cambridge North Rail Station and the Science Park; Hills Road and Addenbrooke’s Route; Ditton Lane and links to East Cambridge; Arbury Road; and Fulbourn/Cherry Hinton Eastern Access.

Work begins this week on the northern scheme (Green End Road) to improve cycle routes leading to the new Cambridge North Station and Science Park, while improvements to Hills Road and Addenbrooke’s routes are due to start in February/ early March. The City Deal is investing £20 million to enhance the cycle network in the city and South Cambridgeshire which will support the growth expected in Cambridgeshire.
